Intuit has released a new version of TurboTax into the Play Store that shouldn't look jarring on your Lollipop-powered device. Despite focusing on something as dense and complicated as taxes, the app is rich with color and comes with plenty of whitespace. This is about as friendly as taxes can look.

This is far from Intuit's first Android foray. There have been apps for phones and one made just for tablets, back in the awkward days when launching different versions for each form factor was common. Intuit has tinkered with Android since the early days, and it has plenty of experience by this point. Whether that means you're in for a good experience is another thing entirely. Even filing taxes on paper comes with bugs.

Regardless, tax season is nearly upon us. Do with this latest version of TurboTax what you will.

Features:

Access your data securely 24/7

Sync and keep everything together across devices

Notify you of important tax deadlines and refund status

Full product lineup (Free, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business)

Get step-by step guidance through over 350 tax deductions and credits to maximize your refund**

You pay taxes, sure, but you don't sit around doing maths to see how much you have to pay. A certain percentage of your monthly salary goes to the government, as does a certain percentage of pretty much everything you pay for.

C'mon, still no love for Canada? I file my taxes every year with TurboTax, and I've been wishing I could do it on Android.

I have used Turbo Tax for 12 years and love them, however I couldn't tell you what the blue hell this app is for. Once you are in their ecosystem you can start doing your taxes fairly fast but I don't need to do them on my phone.
